Manifestation of nonlinear elasticity in rock: convincing evidence over large frequency and strain intervals from laboratory studies

Nonlinear elastic response in rock is established as a robust and representative characteristic rock rather than a curiosity. We show measurements of this behaviour from a variety of experiments on rock taken over many orders of magnitude in strain and frequency. The evidence...
